Chorus: "You and me..." (Chords only)

E|---0---2---4---5---2---2---2---|
B|---0---4---4---5---2---2---2---|
G|---1---4---4---6---2---3---4---|
D|---2---4---6---7---4---4---4---|
A|---2-------6---7---4---4---2---|
E|---0-------4---5---2---2---2---|

The chorus chords end with a little riff. I usually play it as:

E|------------4--4--2--0--|
B|------------4--4--2--0--|
G|--2--h4--4--------------|
D|--2--h4--4--------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

There is also a "solo" that plays over the chorus during certain
repetitions. Strum the first note, then slide from note to note.
For this part, play:

E|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--9--4--2--4--6--2--3--4--|
D|--------------------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

The whole order of the song is as follows:

Riff 1:
I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny

Riff 2:
I wanna be your Christmas tree

Riff 3:
I'll strip the world that you must live in
Of all its godforsaken greed
I'll ply the tar out of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet

Riff 2:
You and me

Chorus:
You and me
You and me

Riff 1:
And if I choose your sanctuary
I'll want to wash you with my hair
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains

Riff 2:
And find the riches hidden there

Riff 3:
I'll eat the lotus and peyote
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing
I'll want the secrets of the temple
I'll want the finger with the ring

Riff 2:
You and me

Chorus:
You and me
You and me

Chorus + Solo

Riff 1:
And if you make me your religion
I'll give you all you will need
I'll be the drawing of your breath

Riff 2:
I'll be the cup if you should bleed

Riff 3:
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea
I'll be the lights that guide you inland
I'll be the visions you will see

Riff 2

Chorus:
Visions you will see
You will see
You will see

Chorus:
You and me
You and me
You and me

Chorus + Solo:
You and me
You and me
You and me
